Scope of Work

Overall Specifications:

• To qualify as a bidder, each vendor must have their plant and mix design listed in Bulletin 41.

Any materials that do not pass inspection and/or do not meet the requirements in the mix design shall be rejected and removed at the awarded bidder’s expense. The Department will not pay for materials that do not meet minimum requirements.

• Testing and development of mix designs will be the responsibility of the vendor and subject to review and approval by the PennDOT District Material Engineer.

• The material will be delivered by the vendor to the locations noted above (excepting the FOB pickup lines), but the asphalt will be placed by Department forces.

Specific Specifications:

• All PG64-22 products must be 64S unless otherwise specified.

• The awarded vendor is to provide a Warm Mix Asphalt as approved by the District Materials

Engineer.

• PennDOT must receive a minimum of 450 tons per day with an expectation of 125 tons per hour delivery unless otherwise noted on the above chart (Location of Work section above). If the awarded vendor is not capable of meeting these quantities while performing under this agreement, their contract may be terminated, and a Performance Issue entry will be made in the

Commonwealth Responsibility Program System (CRPS) which could preclude the vendor from receiving future PennDOT awards.

• In an attempt to encourage and promote the use of high percentage recycled asphalt material in a cost-saving effort to the public, it is understood that the Department will be milling bituminous patches and will deliver the clean bituminous milling (suitable to be used for RAP) to the contractor’s stockpile within a range of 25 highway miles on State-owned roads of the town of Brush Valley in Indiana County (the 25 mile traveling distance is due to the County’s time and truck limitations).

• The amount of millings that are to be returned to the vendor will be equal to the amount of millings used in the provided material (ie 10,000 tons X 30% RAP= 3000 tons returned).

Millings that are contaminated with aggregates or dirt will be retained by Indiana County

PennDOT and will be used for other operations and would be the property of the

Department.
